Romney Extends NH Lead

Published Nov 19 2007, 10:33 PM by David S. Bernstein

A new CNN/WMUR poll of likely primary voters finds Romney's lead widening -- mostly because Giuliani's numbers are falling:

Romney: 33%
McCain: 18%
Giuliani: 16%

Ron Paul -- who, New Hampshirites tell me, has a ubiquitous advertising presence up there -- is at 8 percent, followed by Huckabee at 5. Fred Thompson, who apparently never got the memo that Granite State voters expect you to campaign there in person, has slipped from merely embarassing to actually humiliating, at sixth place.
